FLOW CONDITIONING AND EFFECTS ON ACCURACY FOR FLUID FLOW MEASUREMENT – AMERICAN SCHOOL OF GAS MEASUREMENT HOUSTON 2006 GAS FLOW CONDITIONING Over the last several years research has shown that by improving on the flow conditioners used in natural gas metering applications, measurement is improved and installation cost can be reduced. The new standards developed for orifice meters (AGA 3/API 14.3 and ISO 5167) addresses the question of flow conditioner design and testing to ensure the…

TECHNIQUES OF COMPOSITE GAS SAMPLING The level of interest in effective and accurate gas sampling techniques is currently at a very high priority within the natural gas industry. With the fluctuating ranges in natural gas prices, exploration interests, profitability, deregulation and consolidation of the work force, recoverable revenue must be accounted for. At large volume delivery points, a 3-5 BTU…

FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF DIAPHRAGM METERS Natural gas measurement is the vertebrae of any natural gas utility. Without the ability to measure, it would be impossible to account for the flow of gas from receipt to delivery. Very much like an accountant who labors to keep the ledger balanced, a utility needs metering to balance the receipts from the gas producers…

CHARACTERISTICS OF ROTARY METER PERFORMANCE This paper highlights several rotary meter performance characteristics. These characteristics profile a rotary meter’s capabilities in a wide array of applications from production to transmission, and distribution. Most of the characteristics have minimum standards adopted by agencies like AGA or ASTM. I’ll identify these standards, and incorporate themwhere applicableinto my paper. In discussing these characteristics,…

FUNDAMENTALS OF ORIFICE RECORDERS The American Gas Association defines the orifice meter as the complete measuring unit consisting of a primary and a secondary measurement device. The orifice meter body, tube and orifice plate are considered the primary measuring device. This primary device is equipped with pressure taps that allow for the hook-up of a secondary device to sense…

OVERALL MEASUREMENT ACCURACY This paper presents methods for determining the uncertainty of both differential and linear metering stations. It takes into account the type of meter, number of meters in parallel, type of secondary instruments, and the determination of physical properties. The paper then relates this information to potential influence on system balance
